Praise be to Speick

Well, after all of the raving going on about Speick, I finally broke down and ordered the SC and a bar of the bath soap. It arrived last night and...

man oh man I see what all the fuss was about! I truly love the scent...it is just as a lot of herbal websites descirbe the scent of the speick root: a cross between chamomile and patchouli...but even sweeter. This stuff smells great (and hats off to the gent who recommended the bath soap as it is just as wonderful as the cream, scent-wise).

And as for the shaving...AWESOME. Lathered like a dream, stayed so "wet" while not runny...I think the beeswax helps as well...MMMmmm...

So I must conclude that the Germans really know their shaving stuff! My favorite razor, the Merkur HD, is from germany. My favorite soap, Tabac, is from Germany. My (possibly...we'll see after a few more shaves) favorite cream is also from Germany.

Sorry for the rant...I'm just very pleased with this new (to me) discovery.

I hear ya! It's like I said in the "DE Confessions thread."

For me, Speick and Aqua Velva are the "do all, end all" of wetshaving. This stuff simply can't be beat!

So happy that you gave it a shot (and for those that have used it, you know that one chance is all it needs )

where can I purchase speick? I've looked on classicshaving, vintageblades, qedusa, and done a google search. All I have come up with is Amazon. I'd like to see if I could find a shaving related site, so that i can peruse other products and group a purchase. Where do you guys get your speick?

I bought mine at Smallflower.com. Good prices on Speick. Dave is a nice guy to deal with.

Cheers,

Bob

I will definitely be ordering the aftershave! Three days going with Speick each time and I just love it more and more! What are your thoughts on the cologne?

The cologne is also great. My first impressions let me down, though, as the scent is not the same as the beloved cream. I can only describe it as a "spicy citrus," or if you're familiar with the scent of Versace Green Jeans cologne (dead ringer, but not as potent as the Versace).

The past week I've found myself reaching for the Speick EdC more than my others as it so refreshing with the temperatures on the rise. In fact I'm wearing it today.
